Product Review: Bissell Pro Heat 8910 Carpet Cleaner

Having a family with small children at home can be tough on your carpets throughout your home. Keeping them clean can be difficult at best. This means having to either spend money on a carpet cleaning company to come out a couple of times a year to clean your carpets, or buying a carpet cleaning machine and doing them yourself. Well, I chose the option of buying a carpet cleaning machine and the one we decided on is the Bissell Pro Heat 8910 Carpet Cleaner. There are several reasons why I chose this machine to keep our carpets clean throughout the year.

When shopping for carpet cleaning machines you have quite a number of choices, but after doing a lot of comparison shopping I bought the Bissell Pro Heat model due to its relatively low price ($179.95) and its features. The Bissell Pro Heat includes several features that make cleaning much easier. They include:

- A powerful 12 amp motor

- Seperate water and cleaning tanks

- Built-in dial for different floor heights

- A built-in heater that heats up the water 25 degrees hotter than tap water

- Furniture attachments that make cleaning your living room furniture much easier as well as your auto upholstery

Putting the machine together was a breeze. There are only a couple of screws to connect the base with the handle. There are seperate water and solutions tanks with this unit that are simple to use. One thing I found bothersome was that the water tank to put in hot water is actually a bag inside a plastic case. If something happens with the bag you must buy the entire unit, not just a new bag.

The solution tank is a small plastic container and holds approximately 12 ounces of cleaner. The unit has 2 settings; one for the floor unit and one for the furniture attachments. After using the Bissell carpet cleaner the first time I did notice that it went through the cleaining solution rather quickly.

I used the machine on all the carpets in our home as well as on the upholstery in our car. I was very impressed with this machine's cleaning power. I was able to get up stains out of the carpet that I never could before. The same for our car.
